    Stuck BB cup

    I've been overhauling an Italian frame and the non-drive BB cup won't budge. I've snapped the pins off my two pin BB spanner and tried the Sheldon Brown Nut'N'Bolt method with no luck. The BB is an OMAS "Big Sliding" with a Ti axle and cartridge bearings. I'm not sure if it is corroded or a...

    Schwinn MTB

    My son is selling a Schwinn. I don't know much about fat tyre bikes coming from a roadie background but it was built up from a frame bought on ebay. He's at Uni and the bike has done three or four outings and spent the rest of the time hanging in the garage ( getting in my way ! ). Happy to...

    Panaracer tyres

    Pulled one of my bikes out of the back of the shed and found this. The bike was last used probably November 2011 and I always put 100psi in them using a track pump so it wasn't there back then. The tyre has about 10psi in it now and is obviously scrap. Good job I noticed it as I was about to...

    Bianchi Specialissima

    Several years of scrounging and collecting bits , nearly finished ( I've got to glue the tubs on ). Sort of a late 80's team replica but I guess the bars/stem should be 3ttt and the rims Ambrosio. I made a dogs dinner of the bar tape :roll:

    MKS Sylvan Prime

    Are these "cup and cone" or sealed bearing ? The regular Sylvan are a great Campag copy but the dustcaps are a bit industrial. http://www.jejamescycles.co.uk/mks-prime-sylvan-road-pedal-id59703.html

    Fork repair - preferably. W. Mids

    Any recommendations for the above. I've got a pair with bent legs and I suspect they probably need the legs replacing. They are painted over chrome so I think it is going to be expensive. :(

    Best road descent in the UK

    Despite my errrm ... considerable amount of Potential Energy I have never managed more than 48 mph downhill :oops: This is due partly to the absolutely pants braking of Campag side pulls but mainly due to not knowing where the best roads are. Any suggestions ? Are the best climbs equally good...
